The South Washington association of citizens
considered report upon the railroad track griev-
ance last night. That section IS undoubtedly the
great sufferer from railroad encroachment. 1t
does not stand alone, however, in its resistance
10 the use by railroads OF streets and avenues as
substitutes for freight stations and round houses
or TO the use OF the public parks for depot pur-
poses THE STAR believes that South Washington,
instead OF being isolated or deserted, has the
whole community with it in this matter, and is OF
the opinion that preparation for wise and ener-
getic use of the opportunities to be heard offered
in the proposed investigation by the special Sen
ate committee is present and continuing duty,
and that such Investigation, II properly utilized,
cannot fail to result benehcially to South Wash

The Cabinet are considering the Alaskan seal
fisheries and In this connection q long protest
comes TO the President from certain ship owners
In San Francisco against acts Of the Alaska CON-
mercial company, TO which corporation the seal
fisheries are at present leased. II that company
has violated its contract with the government, 1t
should be punished. But the main complaint in
wolves the government as well as the company, by
questioning the exclusive right OF the United
States and its lessee to catch seals in Bering sea
beyond the three mile limit. The principal ad-
vantage OF withdrawal OF this country's claim to
control Boring sea would fall to England, as the
leading commercial nation, whose ships have
already entered the sea and taken seals, and in
certain instances have been seized. 1t would I'M
dOubtedly be profitable to the United States to up
hold the monopoly OF its lessee, even though 1t
excluded a few of its citizens from the fisheries
The seal fisheries are very valuable, and Ii the
seals may be intercepted by anybody In the open
sea before reaching the islands where the are
usually killed, this value VIII be much decreased
and before long will be nothing. Russia
treated Boring sea as a closed sea for q century
and kept out all fntruders, and still guards jeal-
ousiy that part Of the sea which was not conveyed
10 Va The eastern part OF Behr1ng sea was In
terms conveyed to the United States, the seal fish,
cries being recognized as the most valuable ele-
ment OF the purchase, and this country has MAIN
tanned and exercised exclusive control Of the
part in form conveyed, ever since. Has the time
come with the Canadian scores unsettled, to with
draw our claim and apologize to Great Britain for
Selling her ntruding vessels? II we cannot estab-
lish that Boring sea is closed sea, or that we
have exclusive rights there by prescription, or find
any reasonable excuse for holding what we have
enjoyed, We shall need TO eat humble pie and to
submit TO the destruction OF the seal fisheries;
less, indeed we can successfully appeal TO Russia,
which has a navy, to make good TO us the convey
cP frOm
ousted by the Brtishers. In no aspect OF this in
ternational question have the misdoings of the
Alaska company, to which the lease will soon
expire, any bearing.

A BANDIT CHIEF.



Band.
NoGALES, ARR, December l0.-Fre-
queut raids aud murders OF the notorious
Mexican baudi: Bemae are causing in
creased alarm. The Mexican Government
is making strenuous efforts to effect cap
ture of Bernae and his little army. Al
most all the troops of the States Sonora
and aIsn AmalOa, and large bodies of citi-
zens are in the field. The troops sur
prised the bandit camp, but were forced
to retreat. Another attack was made,
when several bandits were killed and
the rest fled. The federal loss
was two killed and three wounded
Cerual's army was divided into two or
three parties. 1t is thought the bandit
chief is not now with his forces, but iii
hiding, though etill manipulating the
movements OF his men. 1t is believed
that the troops have now hedged in most
Of his men, and report Of a desperate
battle is hourly expected. Nearly the
whole of Sonora and SinalOa are up in
arms and much excitement prevails.
These bandit outlaws have given the Mex
lean Government more trouble and are
calling out more troops than the Apsches
